Should the New Orleans Saints really make a trade for Derek Carr? The franchise is approaching a crossroads where their core of talent is getting long in the tooth, and it might make more sense to start selling off assets and rebuild for the future.
On the other hand, they could do what they’ve done for years and go for broke in hopes of winning a weak division’s title — and then advancing through a soft NFC playoff field that appears to run just two-deep with Super Bowl contenders in the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers. The Dallas and Minnesota Vikings are paper tigers until proven otherwise. With better help and quarterback play, it’s not impossible to see the Saints elbowing into that crowd.
